Djokovic won best male tennis player? There are a lot of deluded Djokotards so that's hardly surprising.

I guess it gives them something to treasure now that Djokovic has lost his #1 spot

You don't need to be deluded to see why Djokovic came out on top after his 2011 and AO title defense this year. It's entirely deserved. I was actually positive Federer or Nadal would come out on top in that category because of their immense popularity. Glad to see that Novak's results got him the award.

That being said, had the voting commenced after the Wimbledon final, this award would have undoubtedly went to a different man.
